Applicable TDS rate for sale of property in Nov 2024


This query is : Resolved 

Quick Summary
When purchasing property from a Non-Resident Indian (NRI) in November 2024, the TDS rate is 12.5% on the sale proceeds. This rate is subject to a 10% surcharge and a 4% cess, bringing the total deduction higher. It's important to note that indexation benefits are generally not available for NRIs, which can affect the TDS calculation unless a lower deduction certificate is obtained from the Income Tax Officer.

20 November 2024 I am planning to buy a property located in Chennai, value being negotiated is Rs.80lacs. Seller is an NRI. I would like to know

a) the applicable TDS rate for the above transaction? Surcharge & Cess as applicable. I would like to know base TDS rate.
b) I read couple of responses in this forums and understand that Indexation benefit is not available for NRI. does this impact the TDS rate?

20 November 2024 Unless the seller obtains lower tax deduction certificate from his Jurisdictional ITO, TDS has to be deducted at 12.5% +Cess over total sale proceeds if long term holding.

20 November 2024 Thank you, sir for quicker response.

20 November 2024 You are welcome.

21 November 2024 just to add to this. Surcharge shall apply too to this transaction. so its 12.5% plus 10% surcharge. Add 4% cess to this amount.
